the client MAC address. Use "dhcptools -v" to validate the format
of the /etc/bootptab file.
___ Check for entries in /etc/dhcpdeny to insure that bootpd is not set
up to deny service for particular clients.
___ Check /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for a message from bootpd that
indicates it was started when a bootpd packet was received.
Check tftpd for the following:
___ Check the tftp line in /etc/inetd.conf to make certain /opt/ignite
and /var/opt/ignite directories are listed.
___ Check the tftpd connection manually by using the tftp command; for

Q: Does Ignite-UX Support Auto-Port Aggregation (APA)?
A. Yes, from March 2011 release onwards Ignite-UX supports recovery of a
system with Auto-Port Aggregation (APA) configured on HP-UX 11i v3 OS.
Ignite-UX does not support the following activities on systems with
aggregate LAN interfaces:
1. Configuring or changing network information associated with aggregate
links during a recovery
(nor can they be configured in during a cold install using either SD
depots or golden images).
2. Cloning systems using recovery archives that contain definitions for
aggregate LAN interfaces
3. Cold installing from a golden image containing definitions for aggregate
LAN interfaces
4. When network booting a system any network information gained by DHCP must
provide the hostname of the system,
not doing so will lead to errors during the recovery if a system has
aggregrate LAN interfaces
defined on HP-UX 11i v1 or v2.
5. Changing the hostname during a recovery on a system that has aggregate lan
interfaces
defined on HP-UX 11i v1 or v2. Doing so will lead to errors during a
recovery.
For more details on APA, please refer admin guide chapter-15 under section
"Verifying Recovery Image Results".
